ADELAIDE (Boscutti Report) — Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has blasted the Victorian Labor government over African street crime, claiming residents of Australia’s second-largest city were scared to go out to restaurants at night.
In a dramatic intervention in the state’s crime debate, Mr Dutton accused Premier Daniel Andrews of undermining the police and the courts and said political correctness had ‘taken hold’ in the state.
‘We need to arm Melbourne restaurant patrons with the right table settings according to the law,’ he said.
‘You can’t bring an oyster fork to a machete fight.’
